Kolekti has launched Narus, a breakthrough new Generative AI (GenAI) platform designed to enable and accelerate safe AI adoption for businesses of all sizes.

As organisations grapple with AI integration challenges and the risks of shadow AI, Narus offers a solution: an easy-to-use, secure chat portal, where employees safely interact with AI models and businesses retain oversight of company data.

Unlike enterprise AI platforms that require high minimum seat numbers and come with hefty price tags, Narus provides a cost-efficient alternative for responsible, efficient AI adoption. Narus offers a flexible pay-as-you-go pricing structure, as opposed to expensive flat-rate subscription models. This makes AI accessible to companies of all sizes, especially midmarket and industries like professional services, HR, marketing, media, and IT, helping them leverage AI safely, securely, and within budget.

Balancing innovation and security

Organisations feel far less ready for the challenges GenAI brings to risk management and governance—only 23 percent rated their organisation as highly prepared according to a report from Deloitte.

Meanwhile, the issue of shadow AI is growing. Research shows that 78 percent of knowledge workers use their own AI tools to complete work, yet 52 percent don't disclose this to employers. This poses risks like data breaches, compliance violations, and security threats. The gap between employee enthusiasm and organisational readiness underscores the need for controlled AI adoption.

‘Narus is our solution to this challenge,’ said Adam Wignall, General Manager at Kolekti. ‘Employees are eager to use AI, but organisations must ensure it's done safely. The success of AI hinges on trust—both in the tools and the people using them. Narus is designed to foster this trust, offering a platform that empowers workers while maintaining organisational oversight, essential for large-scale deployment and long-term success.’

Secure, flexible, and user-friendly

Narus combines strong security with user-friendly features to support responsible AI use, including:

• Versatile AI interaction: Narus enables employees to work with multiple large language models through seamless API integration. Users can select their preferred AI models to ask questions or generate ideas, all within a secure environment that protects company data.

• Increased productivity: The platform includes prompt optimisation tools that help users refine their inputs for better results. A shared prompt library fosters collaboration and learning by allowing teams to reuse successful prompts and share insights, driving innovation across the organisation.

• Security and governance: Narus offers real-time monitoring of AI usage, safeguarding against data leaks and compliance breaches. Administrators can set alerts for sensitive information inputs, ensuring adherence to regulations like GDPR.

• Administrative control and cost management: Narus allows organisations to assign specific AI models to users based on their roles, manage access, and track AI usage and expenses through a centralised dashboard.

Enabling long-term success

As businesses navigate GenAI, success depends on a solid foundation: clear use cases, strong governance, precise measurement, and comprehensive training. Narus supports these pillars, providing a structured and secure pathway to maximise benefits and minimise risks.
